MPs unhappy over ADSL dominance
Talkback MPs can't have it both ways. BT is obliged to provide its services to the whole of the UK - which no other company is either obliged to or wants to. ASDL over existing phone lines is not the best technical solution, cable is the preferred solution...

MPs unhappy over ADSL dominance
Talkback When advocating liberalisation of the BT local loop, similar consideration must be given to the broadband element of cable companies who are very protective of their monopoly. A far reaching study must be carried out into the whole "carrier system...

MPs unhappy over ADSL dominance
Talkback There are a number of issues here but what MPs have to try to appreciate is that the UK is relatively small island with a mere 60m or so inhabitants. In short, there is not the critical mass neccessary to sustain more than one large provider of...

Windows dominance to last 'two to four years'
Talkback Given ZDNet's rather well-established and recognised role as Microsoft's de facto Ministry of Propoganda, when they themselves start printing stories like this, it's a good indication that MS are in very serious trouble.
